    How about make it by the wiggler?I think the wiggle tool can make the tracked motion less exact.

    Hi Patryk,

    the downside of using the wiggler is that it will introduce a different random motion, instead of a bit of your original camera shake,

    If that’s not what you want, try this:

    after you’ve stabilized the shot add this expression to the Position-parameter:

    precision= 50; // use a percentage from 0-100 % ,
    position= ( value*precision + anchorPoint*(100-precision))/100 ;

    Filip, what do you mean “Position-parameter”?

    Hi Patryk,

    Just select the layer you just stabilized, hit the “P”- key and you’ll see the Position-parameter, with any keyframes it might have,

    Then Option-Click on the Timer Icon to the left of the word “Position”, and you’ll see an “=” sign.
    You now have the opportunity to insert an expression (a formula) for the position-parameter.

    This is by default “position”, you’ll see that text highlighted in your timeline, just copy the expression I wrote into that text-field and you’re done.

    precision= 50; // use a percentage from 0-100 % ,
    position= ( value*precision + anchorPoint*(100-precision))/100 ;

    See screenshot:
